Having Heidi Klum endorse any brand is bound to be a success, and that's just what Jordache jeans is hoping by signing the reality TV star and supermodel mum on for its new campaign.

While the famous Eighties budget line has flown under the radar in recent years, the brand will debut its first print and TV campaign in 20 years with the supermodel as its fresh face, for a re-launch in Wal-mart stores across the country.

In the ad, the all-performing, Jordache-clad 39-year-old will dance to an updated Seventies-style soundtrack from Brooklyn’s Ian Love, choreographed by So You Think You Can Dance‘s Mia Michaels.

Liz Berlinger, president of Jordache told WWD of her dancing talents: 'Heidi’s beautiful and a great businesswoman and designer, and she also turns out to be an amazing dancer with great stamina.

'She danced from 10 in the morning
until midnight in 5-inch heels. I’d have a hard time walking down the
street in the heels she was wearing.'

Ms Klum's partnership with Jordache goes back to 2007, when she was was chosen to be the face of the company's new rebranding. Then in 2008 she designed a line of denim for the brand, and also starred in the ads.

Model moves: The ads, shot by the famed British photographer and filmmaker, Rankin, will feature Ms Klum in four different kinds of Jordache jeans – from red and to the superskinny

The supermodel-endorsed
jeans, which will be available for $16.44 at Wal-Mart, is part of
Jordache’s continued attempt at targeting a younger customer.

Last
year, the company used 23-year-old 30 Rock star Katrina Bowden as its
spokeswoman, but it decided to return to Ms Klum, not for her age, but
because of her youth appeal.

'We’re pushing a young missy product here, and Heidi is a great fit,' Ms Berlinger said.

She also noted that the brand will look to expand the Wal-Mart offering into categories such as tops, lingerie and accessories through internal expansion and licensing arrangements, with possible brick-and-mortar Jordache stores on the way.
